Territorial Army

The Territorial Army, formally known as the Army Reserve after 2014, is the active-duty volunteer reserve force of the British Army, founded in 1908 by Secretary of State for War Richard Haldane. The Territorial Army was created out of the Yeomanry and the civilian volunteer force of the British Army, and it was meant to protect the homeland until 1967, when the British government decided to use the Territorial Army to support the regular army overseas. In 2014, the Territorial Army and Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) was renamed to the "Army Reserve".
